People are building extensions to their homes instead of moving. Ely Design Group can assist with the design plans and drawings.

The costs associated with moving house are now significant. In 2015, the Moneywise website reported that the average cost of moving was almost £19,000.

This is a significant sum of money that can be put towards the cost of building an extension or loft conversion to your house or bungalow and, if spent correctly, your extension will add real value to your property. Clearly building an extension to your home is not cheap but alterations and extensions can add the additional accommodation so that you no longer need to move. Not only has moving house been listed as one of the top ten most stressful events but it is also increasingly costly.
